ADC 186 

DLMS Requisition Revisions to Support TEWLS 

1. ORIGINATOR: Theatre Enterprise-Wide Logistics System (TEWLS), Business 

Systems Office telephone number 301-619-3900 

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: Order Fulfillment/Supply 

3. REFERENCES: DFAS-IN Regulation 37-1, Chapter 5 

4. REQUESTED CHANGE:

 a. Title: DS 511R Requisition to Support TEWLS 

 b. Description of Change: The Theater Army Medical Management Information 

System/Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (TAMMIS/DMLSS) generates a 

transaction that provides the requisition data to the source of supply. Its basic structure 

is a MILSTRIP Requisition, DI Code A0_. The TEWLS requisition format optionally 

contains an Account Processing Code (APC) in rp 75-78 that enables the requesting 

customers to identify the financial account. 

 The APC is a locally developed four-position alphanumeric code which abbreviates 

the accounting classification and relates to the Army Management Structure (AMS) 

code and to other codes used in processing. APCs are used in input transactions to the 

Standard Financial System (STANFINS) and they appear in various output listings. The 

Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) centers maintain the APC master files 

for their supporting activities. 

This ADC requests the DLMS and Defense Automatic Addressing System 

Center (DAASC) maps be updated to incorporate the APC in the DLMS Supplement 

511R, Requisition; 511M, Requisition Modification; and 869F, Requisition Follow-up.

 

 c. Procedures: 

(1) Revise DS 511R, 511M, and 869F as follows to incorporate the APC. (Full 

FA2 segment as currently reflected in the 511R is shown below).

869F 

2/FA201/200 

Same as above. Same as above. 

(2) Provide infrastructure at DAASC to permit TEWLS requisitioning 

transactions to be captured and mapped into the appropriate DLMS transaction. Since 

it is difficult to identify an APC in a MILS transaction due to reuse of the specified 

record positions for different purposes, DAASC has recommended that a unique 

COMMRI would be the optimal way for now to identify requisition transactions with an 

APC. It has been agreed that TEWLS will request assignment of a specific COMMRI 

from DAASC. DAASC must be able to recognize TEWLS requisitioning transactions 

with an APC. DAASC will then be able to recognize an APC in rp 75-78 of any 

A0/AM/AT routed to DAASC under this COMMRI. The format/mapping of the 

requisition transactions will be the same as the basic A0_ requisition, etc. The format 

for TEWLS A0 is reflected below.

 d. Alternatives: Two alternative mappings were considered during proposal 

evaluation. 

(1) Use FA2 segment. DFAS to determine appropriate data element. 

(2) Map to reference qualifier (2/N9/20 in 511R/M or 2/REF/105 in 869F - 

Qualifier 11, Account Number) 

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: 

 This ADC is necessary to authorize the DAASC to modify the requisition and 

requisition-related translation maps to include an additional data element and to ensure 

the TEWLS requisition, modification, and follow-up retain this data content under 

DLMS processing. TEWLS requires this change immediately for testing purposes; with 

implementation currently planned for January 2006. The mapping for the FA2 segment 

was recommended by DFAS. 

6. ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES: 

 a. Advantages: This change will accomplish the following: 

(1) Facilitate TEWLS implementation. 

(2) All TEWLS requisitions will use the DLMS formats. 
(3) All requisition edits and validations will remain in DAASC. 

 b. Disadvantages: None known. 

7. IMPACT: DLMS Supplements and DAASC translation conversion mapping.
